Signup Deadline: 04-30-2021
Starts: 08-02-2021

Location: Online Opportunity

Description:

The ASAE Professional Development (PD) Section Council exists to help ASAE best serve members of the PD Professional Interest Section. We serve in an advisory capacity to ASAE on programs for learning professionals and regarding needs, issues and trends in education and credentialing.

Work of the Group:
The Professional Development Section Council is divided into subcommittees that complete work on behalf of the group. These groups are subject to change yearly based on the need from ASAE or the focus of the council.

  • Identifying trends and possible disruptions professional development professionals will face in the near future.  This can be done during council meetings, discussions with ASAE staff, Collaborate discussions in the Professional Development Professionals Community and the continuation of the regularly scheduled PD Townhall sessions.
  • Supporting ASAE’s strategic plan through input, advice, and guidance as it relates specifically to professional development professionals. This will be guided by ASAE staff on an as needed basis throughout the term.
  • Advise on and when needed support the building of a resource base of knowledge and tools for professional development professionals including article topics for Associations Now Daily and proposals for ASAE’s major conferences. Committee members can identify topics, authors, speakers for ASAE without the expectation of creating the content but are welcome to be the creators of identified content.

Meeting Requirements:

This group requires:

  • Virtual Orientation Meeting- July 2021- exact date TBD Virtual Kick-off Meeting- August 2021 in conjunction with ASAE Annual Meeting. This meeting is mandatory for new volunteers. This meeting will be scheduled so it does not conflict with the events of ASAE Annual Meeting.
  • The second longer meeting is held Winter 2022. Currently, this meeting is being planned as a virtual meeting. If ASAE can host this meeting in person, all members of the committee will have the option of attending virtually or in person.
  • 1 hour all Council call every other month on the second Tuesday of the month (in months that do not have a longer form meeting)
  • Council members should also expect to meet with their subcommittee virtually to complete work on an as needed basis.

Eligibility Requirements:
  • Applicants should have demonstrated experience and knowledge around issues surrounding the work of professional development professionals.
  • Applicants should feel comfortable contributing to council meetings, providing feedback on questions from ASAE, and bringing forth issues/topics in this demographic that ASAE should be aware of.

Selection Process:

Not all applicants will be accepted for this committee. The selection committee is comprised of the incoming volunteer chair, the incoming volunteer vice chair, the outgoing volunteer chair, and the ASAE executive staff liaison. The ASAE staff liaison plays a supporting role in this process. The following factors are reviewed in the selection process:

Applications- Applicants should clearly define, in their application, how they can best serve on this group as outlined in the above description.

Additional Information:

  • 2020-2023 ASAE Strategic Plan Framework
  • New volunteers are required to attend the volunteer group’s orientation in order to serve.
  • Council members (or their organizations) pay their own travel expenses to attend meetings. 


Diversity of Voice- With support of ASAE staff, the selection committee utilizes the ASAE Board Diversity Policy and Volunteer Model to ensure the group is comprised of a variety of voices from the membership.  To support this effort, all ASAE members can log into their main ASAE account and update their information in their ASAE Profile to ensure it is complete and up to date.

• New volunteers are required to attend the volunteer group’s kickoff meeting in order to serve.
